Chapter 326: The Singer of the Sea
After sharing the gifts, everyone went downstairs together.
After saying hello to his sister in the common room, Knicks went out. He's going on a date with Luna.
The two meet at the castle gates, and Luna changes into the earrings that Nicks gave her, and her hairstyle changes to a single ponytail, revealing the pair of earrings.
Nicks complimented, "It's beautiful."
The corners of Luna's mouth curled slightly, and she was in a very good mood when she heard Knicks' praise. "Where are we going?"
"Go to the Forbidden Forest. Find out if there's any of the magical creatures you mentioned."
"Okay." Luna was even happier, completely forgetting what to do if she was caught by the professors.
Before the two of them left the castle, Fleur stopped them with a small gift box and said with a smile, "I found you."
In Nix's stunned expression, Fleur held the gift box in front of Nix with both hands. "Merry Christmas, I think it's more sincere to give it to you myself."
Nix looked at the gift box, and then at Fleur's stiff smile, and knew that he was forced to open. He first thought of Madame Maxim asking her to come, but immediately dismissed the suspicion that the headmaster wanted Fleur to win the Goblet of Fire, but would not force the students to do so. What drives Fleur is the honor, the determination to win.
Fleur gave Nicks a gift, but she didn't play tricks with it. Trading a shoddy gift for a potion for the Knicks is tantamount to her owing the Knicks a favor, and she may have a bad relationship with the Knots.
Nicks didn't refuse, and took the gift and handed it to Luna.
"Miss Delacour, thank you for the gift. By the way, do you have time?"
Fleur smiled, warming her surroundings like a spring breeze.
"No problem, but doesn't Miss Lovegood mind?"
"It's okay, I can go back first." Luna said.
"No, it won't take much." Knicks shook his head.
The three of them walked to Beauxbatons' carriage together, considering the Hogwarts school rules, it is best not to enter the Forbidden Forest blatantly, originally Nix planned to take a detour to Hagrid's hut to cover up, but now there is no need to do it, just go to Beauxbatons's carriage.
In a clearing on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, Nicks pulls out the cauldron and the materials he had received from Snape to configure the Sailor's Passage Sequence 5 Ocean Singer Potion.
The potion was configured, much to the surprise of Luna and Fleur.
It resembles a jellyfish, with a transparent outer layer wrapped in azure water, and the wind sometimes whirls inside, sometimes flashes of silvery white, and faintly melodious singing is faintly heard.
Luna hears the song and thinks it's alive and thinks Nyx has made a magical creature.
Fleur looked less like a potion and more like a creature thing, and her heart was full of suspicion.
"Drink it, and you will gain strength." Nicks bewitched.
Fleur gave Nicks a blank look, hesitated, and drank the jellyfish with her head up.
The jellyfish slid into her body, then continued to expand, and finally exploded, creating a wave of sound around her body.
Normally, drinking this potion requires a ritual to keep yourself safe and get used to it.
But Nicks didn't say that the world was different, he couldn't find the creatures needed for the ritual, and he also wanted to see if taking potions would fail without the ritual, and what would happen if it failed.
But things were unexpected, and there was no ceremony, and Fleur still succeeded.
Nicks observes Fleur and thinks to himself that maybe her success has something to do with her bloodline, but she doesn't know if it's because of her Meiwa blood or because of her wizard blood.
After drinking the potion, Fleur hallucinates a bout of sounds that appear to echo around her, but they quickly disappear. Then she understood what the potion did.
The abilities of the Sea Singer have undergone some variations due to Fleur's bloodline.
The first is the charm ability, which can be used to exert the charm ability with the spell of the Meiwa bloodline. Now you can charm just by making a sound. In addition to this, she can also scream and stun enemies.
There are gains and losses, although two effects are obtained at the same time, but they lose their original penetrating properties, as long as the ears are blocked and the sound cannot be heard,
will not be affected.
The second is the lightning ability, which is completely obtained from potions and does not change much. There are two types of lightning attacks, one of which is to attach lightning to the weapon, and the attack will also cause lightning to slash down. The second is to create a lightning bolt that shocks the enemy, and even if it is dodged, it will still disintegrate into countless tiny electric snakes, jumping towards the surrounding things with better conductivity.
As a wizard, a wand is a weapon, and the first ability is basically useless, unless Flemban becomes a Juggernaut like Neville. Another way is to study attaching thunder and lightning to the spell, but this is difficult, and it doesn't make much sense, the spell itself is very powerful, and if it hits its own effect, it can control the enemy, and the thunderbolt not only can't be icing on the cake, but it may even have the opposite effect, and the thunder and lightning attached to the spell that can't hit can't hit, which is completely meaningless.
To Fleur's satisfaction, she has learned a wind binding, an ability that is silent and invisible and does not require a wand to release, which can be said to be a good way to sneak attack.
Finally, there is the affinity and control of water, long-term underwater activities, and the control of water forms a shield. These all require water to be around, and the requirements for the environment are too great, and Fleur doesn't care.
Overall, Fleur felt that the potions were still very powerful, and it was no wonder that Ms. Maxim wanted her to find a way to get one.
"Thank you, Knicks." Fleur Road.
Luna's lazy appearance suddenly changed, and Fleur's words just now alerted her.
"A friend's Christmas present." Nicks laughed, "How do you feel?"
"Very good. I ......" Just as Fleur was about to say something, Luna suddenly interrupted, "In that case, then let's go."
Nicks looked at Luna suspiciously, and then he laughed, Luna looked like a fried cat trying to protect her things.
He liked Luna like this, which meant that she was afraid of her own departure and really cared about herself.
This kind of interference in other people's decisions rarely occurs to Luna, and in general, Luna rarely interferes in the lives of her friends, such as Harry, who will enlighten when she is troubled, and will not find friends when she is in trouble. Now that Luna interferes with his decision to keep him away from Fleur, it shows that in Luna's heart, Nyx is closer than a friend.
Fleur looked at the two of them awkwardly.
Nix said, "Senior Sister Delacour, we still have something to do, so we won't go back with you. Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Fleur turned and walked back, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, she had won, and the little girl had finally realized her danger.
Nick dragged Luna deeper into the Forbidden Forest, choosing directions with better views.
